Cocktails, palm trees, Djs and pool beds....welcome
to NoSoloÁgua Club in Praia de Rocha marina!

With a friend visiting from England for a week I managed to take a
couple of days of work to enjoy and pretend I was on holiday too! A few
friends had recommended this beach club to us, and it definitely made for a
great afternoon.

Situated right on the Praia de Rocha marina, there was a fun but
relaxed vibe. Ideal to spend the day around the pool and have some lunch
in their restaurant. Otherwise turn up later for there sunset parties!

It's been a busy few months since I moved to paradise.... but back to the blog!

Time to style out the heat... with the arrival of summer and 39'c! Sometimes I just want to live in my swimwear! Otherwise for me it's simple one-item outfits most of the time. Minimalistic, simple shapes, "throw-on" pieces that I do not even need to think about putting on. This dress was one of those purchases!

Drinks and walks along the beach are my favourite after work. Which made for the perfect time to take these shots.....

My first blog post from my new home. Yes!
My sister and I moved to Portugal last month. A decision that was a long time coming…

Beautiful sunshine, delicious food and my favourite beaches…
I cannot wait to share with you my idea’s this year. A new home, a new venture……surely a new
wardrobe?!

Time to step into Spring with the ultimate effortless but
high impact shoe…the backless loafer.
Great to start airing those feet and welcoming some warmth. I fell in love with these black leather bee
detail loafer’s whilst shopping in Dubai last November…and have been dying to
wear them.

Top-up the look with another season favourite… power frills,
embroidery, ripped jeans and florals. Kinda
girly but not too much!

After a 'Jolly Holly' Christmas there is nothing quite like the fresh outdoors!

A crisp walk around Leeds Castle, pub lunch and a chance to get lost in the maze....

Still not that cold in the UK for December, it was amazing to see daffodils in full bloom! Definitely a chance to layer-up but not too much.

Feeling like Pocahontas in my new suede tassel boots, today's look was all about contrast. Simple, fitted clothing pieces accompanied with loose, layered accessories. Be careful not to overdo the fringing/tassels! The classic shape, knee-high suede riding boots really were a great investment which will never date.

One of my favourite warm pieces... the roll-neck under a pinafore dress and knee-high leather boots make Autumn season "easy-dressing".

Another layer? Check out the Peacoat range on offer at Jack Wills. I absolutely love the traditional, preppy British styles and patterns. Keeping with the "school-girl" chic look, I wore my Warmwell Peacoat in houndstooth. Classically tailored with a traditional statement lapel, double breast and fur collar.

Making the most of a sunny Sunday morning I was lucky enough to have these photo's taken whilst enjoying a country walk around Knole Park. Home to over 350 wild deer and with over 1000 acres to roam, it reminded me how beautiful the Kent countryside really is!
